Alcoholism Support Group

Alcoholism is the continued consumption of alcoholic beverages, even when it is negatively affecting your health, work, relationships and life. If you think alcohol is causing you to lose control, it's time to seek help. Our group is a safe place to vent, check in, get back up if you fall, and reach sobriety.

Talk to us, message us, call a friend, exercise, get out of the house and go to a bookstore, church, yoga class but you really should try to talk it out at some point. Exercise always helps me initially so that I can get my thoughts together.

in my experience if you are seriously worried about your immediate mental health ....

in the short term:
talk to someone immediately, try to get someone to be with you so you are not alone
seek medical help, either appt with primary care doctor if you can get one tomorrow or if that not soon enough, your local hospital er or mental health services. (i am in uk where we have a 24hr emergency mental health service but dont really know what facilities you have there)
whatever seek professional help as soon as you can.

long term:
establish what your problem is ie alcoholism or other issues causing an alcohol problem and seek the appropriate solution.

This is what I have done in the past when in crisis and most important thing is to make sure I am safe and with people that understand.

I cry. It may sound unproductive but it's really cleansing and has helped. I ised to bottle everything up and then drink &quot;at&quot; situations and people. So, now I cry, calm down and then I talk to someone.

Please, please talk to us or supportive family or friends. We are here just a click away and we have all had problems and are still struggling with many, we will understand,listen and try to help. God Bless and Good Luck. Mairi

A deep longing accompaniedby the deepest Love some days. The heavy fog mayreturn and the next day, it may recede.Once again, it's...

I have my maxed amount of epidural shots of my cervical DDD....(and no one cares about my lumbar DDD)..... I've done physical therapy, muscle relaxers, Amitriptyline, Nortryptiline, desipramine.....narcotics... So I decided to go to a spine specialist and they have me on Gabapentin. Its been two weeks and it did nothing for my lumbar ever... but it did seem to help my cervical and arm/hand pain...
